The New York Ska-Jazz Ensemble (NYSJE) is an internationally acclaimed group formed in 1994 that blends the energetic rhythms of ska with the improvisational sophistication of jazz. In addition to their original compositions, they are known for their jazz interpretations of standards by artists such as Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk, and Dave Brubeck. NYSJE is famous for its ska-jazz instrumentals, but their repertoire also includes vocal pieces featuring an impressive list of guest musicians over the years. The brand-new album "SKALLABORATIONS" brings together the best guest appearances from all their studio albums – available as a limited-edition jazz-blue vinyl release!
